The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Awarded the race in the stewards' room after just failing at Listowel on hurdles debut, the lightly raced WODHOOH can get her head in front here. The Gordon Elliott-trained filly shaped well on a couple of occasions for previous connections in the UK but always gave the impression she would improve with time. The form of her initial run over flights looks strong in the context of this race, so she should be capable of taking another step up the ladder. Our Boy Wes made a winning debut over hurdles at Ballinrobe but failed to back that up at Market Rasen last time. The Emmett Mullins-trained gelding remains of interest given his largely progressive profile. Pigeon House also rates a danger in receipt of weight from the previous winners although he will need to show further improvement.

Quite a useful early-season juvenile. WODHOOH gets the nod for Gordon Elliott, but fellow hurdle winners Cossack Chach and Our Boy Wes are also likely to be in the thick of things, while recent Gowran second Pigeon House also has the form to get very competitive.

WODHOOH showed a fine attitude at Listowel when interfered with and can only improve from that hurdles debut.

PARK OF KINGS looks capable of following up his recent Roscommon win off an 8lb higher mark. Paul Nolan's five-year-old had run well in a couple of bumpers last season before showing plenty of ability on his initial runs over hurdles. The JP McManus-owned gelding put it all together last month when running out a ready winner on just his second foray into handicap company. Mark Walsh never had to get too serious on the son of Walk In The Park, so he should have more to offer. Baltinglass Hill hinted at a revival when runner-up to a well handicapped mare at Killarney last time. He, too, looks well treated these days off a mark 6lb below his last win. Last time out winner Mr Macphisto also warrants respect as an in-form contender.

This looks a strong race for the grade with taking last-time-out winners REDWOOD QUEEN and Park of Kings probably the pair to focus on. Both landed a gamble last time and boast the scope to rate quite a bit higher, with marginal preference for the Charles Byrnes runner. Of the rest, Contrapposto and Mr Macphisto are of interest.

Preference is for PARK OF KINGS(nap) who was a comfortable Roscommon winner on return from an absence and has improvement to come.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Champion Hurdle third ZANAHIYR appears to have been found an excellent opportunity to make a winning start to his latest campaign. The Gordon Elliott-trained six-year-old tends to run well off the back of a break but the race conditions here give him a significant advantage over his two rivals. Despite being a genuine Grade 1 horse, rated upwards of 12lb higher than both, he meets them off level weights. Run For Oscar continues to improve on the Flat, arriving here on the back of a career-best effort when third in the Prix du Cadran. Despite having a bit to do on official ratings the gelding looks to be improving at the age of eight. Andy Dufresne will most likely have his season planned around another tilt at the Grand Annual at Cheltenham but he is a capable hurdler on his day.

A good opportunity for the very smart ZANAHIYR to make a winning return. Run For Oscar is fit from the Flat so may make more of a race of it than he is entitled to on form.

The weights favour Zanahiyr but he may be vulnerable to RUN FOR OSCAR who comes here with a solid Group 1 Flat run under his belt

15:35 Punchestown Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

One of last seasons better bumper horses, POUR LES FILLES, can make a winning start to his career over hurdles. The Gordon Elliott-trained five-year-old won on his sole point-to-point run, before making a successful debut under rules in what is traditionally a strong bumper at the Leopardstown Christmas Festival. Following a highly creditable fifth in the Grade 2 bumper at Aintree in April, the Pour Moi gelding was put away with a hurdling career in mind. Smart flat handicapper Morph Speed ran well for a long ways on his recent debut over flights at Killarney. The seven-year-old should be all the better for that initial experience. Antrim Coast has the strongest hurdles form on offer, having filled the runner-up position at Navan last month.

ANTRIM COAST shaped very well sent hurdling when runner-up at Navan and can go one better with big improvement expected. Pour Les Filles and Mister Pink are both bumper winners from big stables so are likely threats.

Gordon Elliott may have the solution to this with POUR LES FILLESD whose bumper credentials look superior to those of Mister Pink

16:10 Punchestown Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

IRISH ENVOY finished runner-up here either side of two somewhat disappointing runs over hurdles. A bumper winner on his debut last year, the Liz Doyle-trained five-year-old clearly has two ways of running but could prove well handicapped if he produces his best form. Recent Gowran winner We'llgowats has to be a leading contender once again in a race that doesn't have a great deal of strength in depth. The eight-year-old mare shouldn't be too far away. Scott Lang is another that is more than capable if at his best. The Paul Flynn-trained gelding has a couple of bits of form in maiden company that would give him strong claims against what is largely quite exposed opposition.

GOT TO FLY caught the eye on his 2m Navan handicap debut last month and gets the nod now stepping back up in trip, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting speak in his favour. Atlantic Wonder shaped well when second at Navan last time and is unlikely to be far away if in similar form. Tideways Hero and Irish Envoy appeal as potential improvers now handicapping and also make the shortlist.

THAT'S ABOUT RIGHT could get off the mark dropped to this trip after failing to see out 2m6f at Ballinrobe last time.

Despite being one of the elder statesmen in this line-up, the 12-year-old A GREAT VIEW holds leading claims under Charlie O'Dwyer. A winner at Ballinrobe on his penultimate start, the Denis Cullen-trained gelding made a bad mistake at Gowran last time which effectively ended his chances. With O'Dwyer taking over in the saddle here, the JP McManus-owned gelding is only a pound higher than for his last win. Glenquin Castle, who also carries the famous green and gold silks, has to be a danger under Mark Walsh. A winner over fences at Galway last month, the nine-year-old can race off a 6lb lower hurdles mark. The more unexposed Getaway Charlie could be involved especially given the excellent form of his trainer over the past few months.

This looks competitive, with several to consider, but SEA ASTER and Hand Over Fist appeal as the pair with the greatest potential given their relatively low mileage. The latter is not passed over at all lightly in his hat-trick bid, but Sea Aster was strong at the finish in first-time cheekpieces when second to Costanuci (winner again since) over 2½m at Listowel, and she may well improve again back up in trip with blinkers enlisted. No Thanks is third choice, while Good World also has claims.

SEA ASTER could be improving enough to take this after running well against a progressive rival at Listowel last time.

TARNOVA is an interesting newcomer for Michael Halford and Tracey Collins in this finale. A half-sister to a leading stayer on the level, she is somewhat different to most bumper runners from flat yards, in that her stamina is almost certainly assured. Having been given time to mature to the age of four, she may reward connections patience. Royal Hollow has finished runner-up on three of her four starts to date so is showing plenty of consistency for trainer Andrew Slattery. While always somewhat vulnerable to an unexposed debutant, the Beat Hollow mare should get her turn at some stage. Traditude Tara disappointed at Listowel last month but a reproduction of her debut second would make her a leading contender for Willie and Patrick Mullins.

THE TWELVE PINS has gone well in Galway Festival bumpers a year apart and can open her account in the hope she'll strip fitter for her run 10 weeks ago. Stablemate Traditude Tara, newcomer True Testimony and Royal Hollow are among the other leading players.

It would seem easier to forgive ROYAL HOLLOW for a Clonmel second than to pardon Traditude Tara for a total flop at Listowel

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
